And there was much rejoicing!

We went out to dinner at Pappasitos to celebrate Chris' new job!!!! (Glory, hallelujah and all God's people said, "AMEN!")

(Side note, not sure what all of the fuss is about. Wasn't that impressed. Uncle Julios is better.)

I am so proud of Chris and am beyond excited for him to begin this next step in his career. God has richly provided for us and I am so thankful to Him and for Chris' faithfulness to wait for the perfect job for him (something we have been praying for for quite some time). Thank you Jesus!

Anyway, while we were at dinner a mariachi band began playing. My kids were enthralled. The men seemed to enjoy the kids' attention and came over to our table to play their version of "Old McDonald had a farm" (that would be "nick-nonald" if you asked Ryan). The trumpeter made remarkable cow, horse, rooster, and elephant (???) impersonations--so fun! :) Our food came out literally covered in cayenne pepper. I like spicy food (and, for the love, Chris puts Chalua on everything) and we absolutely couldn't eat it. The manager came out, saw the thick layer of seasoning and ordered it again for us. Any-who, we brought the leftovers (of which there were plenty) home. I'm hoping that a combination of no seasoning/too seasoned will somehow meld into perfect.

Whelp, that's all I've got. Happy Friday!

Congratulations! I know we don't always see the fruits of faithfulness to doing what is best, but it sure is fun when we DO get to see the fruits! So glad for you all!
